    I used to have extreme insomnia from 2020 to 2022. Every night I would just lay awake praying for sleep to come and then be absolutely defeated the next day at school. One day in 2022 shortly after moving to another house it suddenly went away. I hope I never have to go through that again and I hope everyone whose dealing with this finds relief soon
    Edit: Sadly over the course of a couple weeks my insomnia has come back and it’s worse than ever. I haven’t slept for a week now

      then when i woke up the next day it was like 4:00 am. i stayed awake the whole day, then went to sleep at like 10pm. so hopefully the same thing will happen to u.
      keep that sleep cycle for the next couple of days.

      There it is a cure. Tell her to do this. Buy a juice extractor (centrifugal system) Buy carrots 🥕 it will be 25lb (11.34kg). 3 days before to do this detox she can not eat (Gluten, dairy products, cereals, seeds, sugar, sugar) and for the following 5 days, total 8 days. She can eat (Meats, Vegetables, fruits, tubers, tubers, vegetables) . Will make the juices every day fresh 5x5 5 glasses 8oz carrot juice 8 for 5 days. Do this detox once a month you will see a lot of changes. Plus take Magnesio and Lysine 500gr every night couple of hours before sleeping. That's was the only cure for my chronic insomnia 20 years. I've tried everything. Love to your mom! ❤

    When you're getting into bed late and have to wake up early the next day, then you start thinking about how many hours of sleep you will get if you sleep right now. But then you just start overthinking and then suddenly 4 hours pass and you have to be awake in 3 hours and then you stress out because you won't get enough sleep to function like a proper human being. Then you just don't sleep that night.
    Is it just me?
    (Edit) How to fix this? I'm not a professional but the easiest way that I found to fix this is going to bed earlier than usual and turning off all devices and trying to clear your mind. Some sleep music might help, or a sleep-related podcast, and try not to stress over the next day or any work you might have to do because it can keep your brain thinking. I found that waking up early is very important as well because you'll get tired faster and have an easier time going to bed. Also don't stress about the hours of sleep you'll get, I personally struggled with that and found it much easier to sleep when I just tried to relax. Hope it helps you guys!

      How can you cure your insomnia in a day?
      1. Get up at 6 a.m.
      2. Do not sleep, lie down, or doze off throughout the day.
      3. Keep active and avoid staying at home during the day by going to work and exercising.
      4. Sit comfortably between 10:00p.m-11:00p.m, you may also choose to meditate, however, you should avoid using your phone, television, and computer.
      5. Lie awake between11:00p.m -06:00a.m. While you lie there, feel free to let your mind wander, but you must remain firm on staying awake all night and refrain from falling asleep even for a second. If you have the courage to do this for one day, then your insomnia can also be cured in the same day. However, if you lack this courage, then you will continue to allow insomnia to torture you.

    In 2014 i suffered from insomnia for a couple of months. And to be honest the way i got rid of it was when i stopped caring about sleep. I stopped worrying about not getting enough sleep and i didnt care anymore. Following that change after a few weeks my insomnia was gone and i didnt even realize it. Well thats how I got rid of insomnia. When u dont get enough sleep just dont worry about it. Do something u enjoy and forget about it. When the bed time comes just lay down and if u get sleep its ok if u dont its ok too ur not gonna die. Hope it helps someone.

I then got pills cuz I was fed up with insomnia but that didn’t work, I was supposed to not use it too much but I ended up did and it gave me fast heart rate which freaked me out a lot. I then got rid of them. I then tried to learn the basics of falling asleep and what to do wen I can’t fall asleep. I did that for almost a year and all I can say is, I think my insomnia is gone!! 😁

    Had a really rough streak of insomnia nights a few years ago and decided to fix the problem for good. What really helped me is seriously working on my sleep schedule, moving a lot (almost everyday), limiting alcohol, seeing a therapist for my anxiety, sometimes cannabis and a good bed time routine (herbal tea, reading, relaxed foam roller). I know the problem and condition is different for everyone, but there is hope! Rarely fall asleep in more than an hour now, and even when stressed it almost never exceeds 2 hours. :)

    I suffered from insomnia since I was a kid but eventually stopped caring anymore from how much stress and fatigue it had put me through so once I stopped caring I was able to sleep once again. A very good tip for getting some sleep is to get off the bed as soon as you feel anxious or irritable and instead do any kind of activity to ease your mind like watching TV etc, and when you feel like you've relaxed go back to bed casually. If you ever start getting racing thoughts stop and try distracting yourself by thinking about what you did during the day or a TV show or anything you find interesting. That really helps trust me.

      Insomnia can be a physical problem. For me it has been bad, can't sleep bcos can't get drowsy. Be it day or night or very tired. Doctors, hospital, psychaitrist don't help. Gone on a few months. Very tired n totally can't do anything. Finally somebody cured me with herbal medication. Only 2 weeks can sleep normal. Following continued a couple months of herbal medication to strenghant body. After I got to normal weight from being always underweight. Cold, running nose disappeared until now 30 years. All is bcos of weaker physical condition. Hope u find a cure.

      @@MophineChild yes sir. It seems many people have this dire problem. For me its serious and the doctors can't cure it, be it western or eastern. My be I'm just lucky. Someone introduce this Chinese physician to me and only he can treat it. He's like a clinic and its packed. Treats many people and fees not too expensive. Told me my problem. Body's weak and its the heart. Can't get to sleep. Strengthen body then everything's fine. He uses herbal medicine to strengthen the body. Cures insomnia quite fast, just about 2 to 3 weeks. After treatment to strengthen body as a whole. This takes I remember takes like 2 to 3 months. After I am in great health. Now like over 30 years no running nose its disappeared. Tried vitamin c whatever never work.
      Unfortunate can't see this old physician anymore cause he's passed away about 2 years ago. He must be like 80 to 90 years old. For me he makes me healthy for like 30 years. Visit him like when body is not so fine and get treatment. One string of treatments usually make me fine for about 5 to 10 years. Actually should visit more often. I regret it now.
      When you get insomnia the doctors says its psycological is not true. Maybe for most cases but not all. Hope people who got this problem can fine a cure 😇😴😴😴

    About 4 years ago, my sister came to my room to have a sibling sleepover, we started playing minecraft PE on our phones, I lost track of time and realized that it had become 5AM, and I could see the small cracks of light that came out of the blinds, I started panicking, was thinking things like "oh my god, I missed the night, I am supposed to be sleeping, I was awake all night", just thinking those thoughts filled me with stress and I literally couldn't sleep. From that dreadful night, it started, chronic insomnia, nights after that, I became scared and stressed when I saw "2AM" or "3AM" on my phone, my scrappy solution was to just try to lose track of what time it is and just sleep, which kinda worked, but it didn't help that I have a brother who can't sleep in complete darkness, so he liked to open the blinds, we fight a lot about that, in the end I always win, and keep the blinds always closed. I have started to become better, I'm in desperate need to create a routine, but it's just hard when you share a room with your twin.

    I used to have really bad insomnia but I’ve gotten over it for the most part. what really helped for me was thinking back to the days when I used to fall asleep instantly… when you can recall the mentality you used to be in at bedtime, over time you can teach yourself to get back into that headspace. for the most part I realized the biggest difference between falling asleep instantly and staying up all night is your brain’s perception of what will happen after you shut your eyes. if you can convince yourself to BELIEVE you’re about to fall asleep… your brain will learn to. but when you lie there like “okay I HAVE to fall asleep” it just gives you anxiety. usually not being tired isn’t the issue. it’s your approach to going to bed… try genuinely believing you’re about to fall asleep like a person without insomnia would and it really helps.

      I think what's more likely is that you're so exhausted from not sleeping enough or not having quality sleep that you're ready to sleep any time throughout the day. If the tips in the video don't help, you might want to see a doctor about it because that's not a great way to live your life.

    • @redhillbones7672
      @redhillbones7672 6 лет назад +5

      Rome Blanchard If the tips in this video don't help that's about when you start looking into Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder. Most people who have it describe it more like having constant jet lag if you're required to get up at a point that isn't a natural waking cycle for you, i.e. 9am instead of 11:30am. If you do have this you will have a natural waking point that your body defaults to if you don't interfere with it and you'll get natural, 7 to 9 hours of sleep regularly and wake up feeling healthy on your schedule. I'm one of the relatively lucky ones in that it was very obvious early on what my problem was and using sleeping pills can help me adjust to a regular morning schedule, even if that's not as good for my rest as just letting my body do what it wants, but it is pretty distinct in my experience from how most insomniacs describe insomnia.
      Like, is there a time of day / night where you don't have trouble falling asleep? For me it's 4 a.m. I can go to sleep right at 4 a.m. no problem and wake up 8 hours, or more likely seven and a half hours, later without an alarm clock but trying to switch from anything but that is an uphill battle that leaves me exhausted or medicated. Sometimes both.
      Either way, it's something to discuss with the doctor because there are major long-term health issues with not getting enough REM sleep.

      One thing I could recommend in this situation is not looking at the time. This results in less stress about inability to sleep because you don't really know how much time you've been awake. My sister keeps looking at the clock whenever she can't sleep, and she can't sleep even more because of it. I told her not to do it for this reason. After that, I haven't found her doing it again so it's good

    I also went through this ,but I am absolutely fine now.
    First of all, you need to put aside the biggest goal in your life from your mind. This doesn’t mean you should forget it, but only remember it when you’re doing something to work towards it. You shouldn't think about it all the time.
    You should also understand that there is much more to life beyond that goal to celebrate. You just need to accept it and think with an open mind.
    Stay away from caffeine and intoxicants, and make sure to sleep only at night.
    Keep yourself busy with work. It doesn’t necessarily have to be related to your larger goal; you can stay busy with any kind of work.
    Fix your sleep schedule-go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even if you don't feel sleepy. Maintaining a proper sleep schedule is essential.
    Do meditation and deep breathing exercises in the morning and evening for 15 minutes each time.
    Exercise, especially cardio and weight training, is very helpful. A minimum of one hour of exercise is a must.
    And even after doing all this, if the situation persists, please visit a psychiatrist. It’s not a big deal. Things will get better within a month.

    I’m 14, I’m struggled with sleep stress my whole life. It’s the most draining feeling I have ever felt. Most people don’t understand how I feel. If I don’t sleep one night the next night the pressure is insane, and I will fall asleep incredibly late. That fear lingers every night and I worry during the day time not wanting it to be night out of fear. During last summer I basically fell asleep at 4:00am-5:00am and woke up at a decent time every day for a week while I was at my dads house, he swore that would work but no. I hate feeling this way I have considered ending my life over it. My sleeps been much better with trazedone, I had to go through a few all nighters every now and then to get to this point. Now I can fall asleep 10:30 -11:00 and I am grateful, some times I will wake up at 2:00 am though, or 1:00 am. Today I woke up at 2:00am and I’m frightened for tonight I hope I will get good sleep I’m praying I will. I fear this decent pattern will not last forever and I am scared so scared.

      my sleep disorder started in my school years too and today (after 15 years) it has gotten worse 🤣 i hope you can make it to sleep like a normal human being. Insomnia is really terrible especially in your young years. Because: when you are young you have much energy. But if you dont sleep well, your energy level is maybe comparable with someone who is old. Its very sad. And if you dont sleep well, your spirit is broken. you try to fight but you can't because your own brain destroys you with negative thoughts 😕

    For those who are watching this video. I was suffering from insomnia since last 3 years. That was the most difficult time in my life. I cried a lot. I tried so many things , homeopathic and ayurvedic sleeping pills also. But it couldn't help me. Then one day I red about yoga nidra in a newspaper. I started trying it and it started working on me. It will help to reduce our anxiety and overthinking and make our brain calm to easily fall asleep. Now I'm sleeping everyday atleast 7 hours. Along yoga nidra, positive affirmations also helped me to live more beautiful life. Everyone should try this . We will overcome. Luv u alll

    My main problem with insomnia is that when I get comfortable with being in bed, I start thinking about how much time of sleep I'll get if I end up falling asleep soon, and as a result I start getting anxious and I count the time in my mind.
    I visualise the clock in my head and am really reluctant to check the time on my phone because that would just make everything worse. Seems like the only realiable way for me to fall asleep is to get really tired by doing various things during the day and just jump in the bed without having the energy left to think about anything. Overthinking during the night is a serious curse.
    The worst overall thing about this is that it doesn't matter at what time you decide to go to bed, there is no guarantee you'll fall asleep soon, after a few hours, or at all.

      You can try meditation with headphones because a beginner will have much difficulty focusing. Try "soothing root chakra chants" by meditative mind, especially at morning and night for half hour each.
      Then you can move to other meditation without headphones when your focus becomes clear.
      Like, rajyoga meditation.
